The shell is all that's left of an extremely rare 1954 Ferrari 500 Mondial Spider Series I, one of only 13 ever made.
The rusted shell of a Ferrari race car was sold for about $1.9 million to an undisclosed buyer.It was being sold alongside 19 other Ferraris that had sat in a barn for 45 years.The dented lump of metal may not look like much now, but it was once a 1954 Ferrari 500 Mondial Spider Series I, the second of just 13 that were made.
It was raced by one of Ferrari's"most significant" drivers of that era, Franco Cortese, who took it to a 19th overall and 2nd in class finish at the April 1954 Coppa della Toscana, the Sotheby's listing says. The Mondial then ended up in the hands of Florida real-estate developer and Ferrari collector Walter Medlin in 1978, who kept it in storage for 45 years.
